Improving farmers’ enthusiasm for sugarcane production is of significance maintaining the stability cultivation, as well ensuring sustainability and security national sugar supply. Based on rural household survey data from five major producing counties in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region 2018, this paper analyzes impact agricultural insurance to grow using Probit, IV-Probit, 2SLS methods, exami...

HIGHLIGHTS Saline stress did not affect the initial growth of cowpea crop. The use mulch provides better morphological results in Vegetal mulches as soil protection (sugarcane bagasse and bamboo straw) attenuated effect salts on gas exchange cowpea.

Sugar productivity decreased in 2015-2016 by 11.76% and reached the lowest 2017 of 4,985 kg/ha White Crystal (GKP). The reason could be due to presence several types sugarcane that experienced a decrease yield during cultivation, such as nutrient deficiencies which resulted divergent plant height. Then low juice contained plants also affected production results. This study aimed determine growt...

Weed infestation is an essential factor in sugarcane productivity loss. The use of remote sensing data conjunction with Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques, can lead the cultivation to a new level terms weed control. For this purpose, algorithm based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) was developed detect, quantify, and map weeds areas located state Alagoas, Brazil. Images PlanetScope s...

Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) is grown on over 8 million ha in Brazil and is used to produce ethanol and sugar. Some sugarcane fields are burned to facilitate harvesting, which can affect the soil microbial community. However, whether sugarcane pre-harvest burning affects the community of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and symbioses development is not known. In this study, we investigated the ...

The current nitrogen fertilization for sugarcane production in Guangxi, the major sugarcane-producing area in China, is very high. We aim to reduce nitrogen fertilization and improve sugarcane production in Guangxi with the help of indigenous sugarcane-associated nitrogen-fixing bacteria. We initially obtained 196 fast-growing bacterial isolates associated with the main sugarcane cultivar ROC22...

Knowledge about gene expression during sugarcane growth and maturation is limited. A gene discovery programme has been in progress at SASEX since 1994 to identify and analyse genes that are expressed in different sugarcane tissue types and developmental stages. A database of sugarcane gene sequences has been established through the generation of Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs). This database, co...

The emissions from simulated sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) field burns were sampled and analyzed for polychlorinated dibenzodioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDDs and PCDFs). Sugarcane leaves from Hawaii and Florida were burned in a manner simulating the natural physical dimensions and biomass density found during the practice of preharvest field burning. Eight composite burn tests consisting of ...

Cry1Ac transgenic sugarcane provides a promising way to control stem-borer pests. Biosafety assessment of soil ecosystem for cry1Ac transgenic sugarcane is urgently needed because of the important role of soil microorganisms in nutrient transformations and element cycling, however little is known. This study aimed to explore the potential impact of cry1Ac transgenic sugarcane on rhizosphere soi...
